The Real Issue Before We Start00:03:48
Like 30 minutes late to the taping of a podcast.
Wait, let's talk about the real issue that we flew in from Japan to be on time on, and you couldn't fucking make it after your goddamn lover ho.
Look, I had a I had to shower, I smelled bad, I had to shower.
What happened?
The Queen Ray is here.
So, what we had to make sure that I smelled good for her.
So, when you were taping Lover Hose, you got like really I do get like sweaty when I when I'm when I'm hosting when I'm hosting a lover host.
This is why I can only stream once every few months, dude.
Yeah, okay, everybody, everybody should know when you're doing lover host, it's intense, it's it's there's a lot going on, and I just sweat.
I'm just pouring sweat the entire time, and so I, you know, I just painted next to you, like that's not true.
I was sweating during that one, I was gross after that.
To be fair, there's no echo in there, yeah, there's no we were in a fucking, we were streaming live from George's horse stable, okay?
I mean, like apartment at the time.
Let me just uh, let me just wait.
I need to say what the real issue is: the fact that these boys are filming a podcast the night before it's due.
That's the real issue.
Austin's innocent.
This is coming out tomorrow.
Oh, yeah, it's coming out tomorrow.
You just you just hit it raw.
Yeah, just raw dog that trash can.
No, we're gonna raw dog the gum.
You gotta fucking tape it around something.
Yo, but hold up.
I'm gonna pick that up later.
Literally, it's not in my defense.
You should have a little plastic baggie in there, right?
Come on, in the comments section, let's start it off right now.
No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do it.
You have a good point.
That's what I'm saying.
I should definitely do that.
Unless he's not throwing anything in there that doesn't require, that's why.
Okay, I need to address something before we even get started.
Wait, we have already started, and I haven't even said the guest yet.
Oh my God, what an insane episode.
You guys have no idea what's going on right now.
Welcome back to Fear Ann Podcast, everyone's favorite podcast where the hosts are never around, and I'm the only one who's always available for all the episodes.
We have another banger episode for you guys.
Oh my lord, we have two.
We have our gay co-host back in the building.
That's right, that's right.
Yeah, uh, maybe one day I'll be a permanent staple.
Who knows?
Yeah, we have our permanent gay co-hosts right in the building.
Uh, unfortunately, Prezo was not available once again, so we had to bring Austin, yep, the second most gay person on in the industry, who's just he's doing prezo bits anyway.
Yep, but but more importantly, more importantly than the show, you know what?
We have a first-timer in the building.
This is the first time I've been dodging this podcast for months in lunch.
We have 100T Valkyrie in the building.
That's right.
Unbelievable.
We're live in Los Angeles.
Yes, California.
Queen of broadcasting herself in the building.
YouTube's very own jet lash.
She commands respect at every room she walks in.
That's why I never asked her because I was too scared.
I'm so sorry.
I would be petrified.
I never wanted to ask her because March also works for her.
You know what I mean?
That's not true.
And I was worried because she was going to see the poor job that March does every episode and fire him.
Oh, that is not true.
Can we just get around the fact you just, you, you just call him March?
Like, it's not even his name.
Like, no, it's his username.
March.
March, like, what?
Oh, get fucked, bitch.
Wait, I've been, I've been calling you Marsh this whole time.
Wait, Marsh accepts it, though.
Marsh.
Like, when I'm still calling you Marshall.
No, no, no.
Your name is Marsh now, Peasant.
Inviting Herself to the Room00:14:54
That's what.
No, when we were in the car in England, okay, I said, I saw it calls you March like the month.
And you're like, but wait, so I was the actually informed him that the right way to call stuff like isn't this.
Is this?
What Call Me By Your Name was about, about me, I don't know.
Like calling like is that just the only gay movie you know?
So you could assume that was like a gay movie.
Well, it is.
This, is it?
This is a double layered joke because I'm like I'm being like bigoted by bringing up like a random game.
I love it's one of my favorite gay movies, really.
Yeah, I love it.
It's my favorite.
Uh, Timothy Chalame, I mean yeah he's, he's a, he's a cutie, he's pretty hot.
And look at Wink yeah, you'd break him oh, in half.
Oh, my god, oh my god okay, we got so much to talk about, we can't even get on track.
I know there's so many things I want to talk about as well, so many things.
Well, first of all, I need to address the elephant.
You guys just got back from a trip that I wasn't invited to.
You were literally invited to it.
You liar, I was, I was not.
I thought you should have kids.
No, I invited myself.
You were yeah okay, I invited myself.
And then then I texted Hassan.
I'm like, yo um, are you going to Japan?
And he's like yeah, and I'm like okay, when he's like like next week, I was like who's going?
And then you mentioned everybody that's going.
I was like is Will going?
You're like no.
I was like okay cool well, that sounds fun.
No response wait seriously yeah, I thought you were coming, you.
No, I'm not even kidding, why would I not?
Hassan's a horrible texter.
Well, I was like Alice, look it also.
Why would I not want you?
I know, but I just didn't want to invite myself.
You were the worst.
I'm very insecure about oh, you were very insecure about inviting yourself to places you were not allowed to go inside of, like my house while I was gone.
All right, look what the pretty funny.
Wait, hold on, what should the cigarette?
Where the fuck?
What is this?
Look the is this?
I left, I thought motherfucker, came to my house, lit up a cigarette Austin look, I was.
Look what is this?
It was me.
I was upset that I wasn't invited into Japan, so I took advantage of your generosity and I broke into your house.
That's what I did yeah, broke right into your house and I smoked a cigarette in this room, which is probably why it smells like cigarettes.
And um, I thought about, you're lucky I didn't take your car to the store, because I almost did.
Oh my god.
Okay, you could burn the house down, but not my car.
I used your bathroom.
I tried to find some clothes in your closet.
None of them fit me.
Uh, none of your rings fit me.
None of your shoes fit me.
I tried on those glasses.
You're like you look it, you look the kid in home.
Yeah, pretty much yeah.
Then I was left home.
I've already broken my body.
Oh my gosh, how are you liked?
I'm so sorry, but you were such a men.
I was devastated by not going to Japan.
Um, it was so upsetting.
However you, being in Japan, did let me.
You didn't stream today, which allowed me to get more viewers on Lil Rails.
Yeah, I saw like I saw.
I was on the plane.
I landed, I checked Twitch and you got like 100k viewers doing an XQC lover host.
Yeah, Will has like 20k viewers doing an IRL stream and I was like yeah, No wonder these motherfuckers aren't coming to Japan with me.
And Will and I are thinking we need to take you down.
Yeah, everybody's eating good while I'm gone.
You know what I mean?
In my absence, I think we should take friendship.
I was like, well, look, I wanted to go to Japan.
I invited myself.
And then, look, Ray, back me up here.
If I invite myself, which is already a compromising for a vulnerable position to be in, why?
He needs to take you broke into my home.
Okay, your arguments are no.
Where Austin, I feel like we would expect you to want to say that you want to come.
But I did.
I did.
I told you.
Because we would always want you to come.
I know, but I feel as if he should have been a little bit more excited about me.
That's why.
Okay.
Yeah.
He does text very dry.
Yeah.
And I'm like, yo, like, are we friends anymore?
Like, he's such a bad texter.
Like, I start to question sometimes.
I'm like, what is he like me anymore?
Oh, my gosh.
He's such a bad.
Yeah, honestly, he'll be like, yay, lowercase, YAY.
And that's how he shows his excitement in text.
No emojis, no exclamation points.
I see why.
Like, it's supposed to be like, yay.
I've walked into his stream room before and he didn't even acknowledge me.
That's true.
He was like looking at something.
That's how used to it.
I like, I just opened the door and I was like, he like locked eyes with me.
And I was like, and then I was just, then I was like, I'm going to go wait on the couch.
And then like in the middle of the cover, he's like, yeah, Austin's here.
All right.
And then like back to it.
Kill him.
It's like, you know, sometimes I'm just like, I was going to, I was going to yell at you and debate you on this point, but actually, you bring up a good point.
The lack of emotional response causing you to feel like you were unwanted is a feeling that I experienced as well.
That's literally why I didn't go with Ludwig to Japan.
I have trauma.
Yes.
That's why I didn't go with Ludwig to Japan and instead like, you know, went to Japan with Ray and Saikuno because one group wanted me more than the other, it felt like.
And I felt wanted by none of those groups.
Yeah.
Well, well, good news, Austin.
Yes.
I'm going back to Japan.
Oh, really?
In June.
No, I'm going back to Japan.
Okay, so we're going back to Japan.
We're going to Japan again.
I'm going.
I'm not in Japan.
Valerie VCT when, though, June 10th.
Fuck, I have a wedding.
God dude, man.
What the fuck?
You always go to weddings, bro.
I've been to like two weddings.
It's like that's yeah.
But I'll go after the wedding.
I'll leave.
No, no, you need to pick and choose.
No more best friends.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are you womening?
I'm sick and tired.
Best friends?
This is not the first.
The only way I'll do that is if I have a guaranteed slot in your future wedding party.
What?
Yeah, you already in like okay, and I'll stop adding best friends.
It's cut off.
I feel like you guys are like besties.
We are.
Yeah.
What you're so weird about this.
Like, yeah, that's not like what?
I didn't know.
You never know.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know.
All right.
You never going to the other hank best friends wedding as you're coming to Japan.
He's so jealous.
We've never been to Japan.
No.
Oh, my God.
This is the best place.
How was your trip?
Let's talk.
Okay.
Okay.
Before we get into that, I just want to just give like a pre-qualifier really quick.
I apologize.
I'm probably not going to shut the fuck up about Japan for like a while because it's awesome.
And I'm probably going to be like the kid who did semester at sea and never shuts the fuck up about it.
Will never.
No, I'm kidding.
Will doesn't actually do that.
But, you know, you know the type.
Like someone that goes and studies in Barcelona for one semester and then says Barcelona and Ibifa.
You know what I mean?
When you're talking about like or have like a fake accent, that's me right now.
It's hard for me not to feel that way.
I got back.
I'm on the plane and I'm already feeling like I've lost a loved one.
Like, I just, I already was like planning on when can I go back to Japan as quickly as possible.
I'm like, going forward in the future, anytime there's an opportunity to go to Japan, I will probably take it.
And then you landed at LAX.
Oh, we had the worst experience today getting our luggage.
Imagine being a person excited to come see the glitz and the glam of Hollywood and you're at LA.
Sometimes like baggage, you know, luggage is an issue.
Yep.
Because, you know, those lazy communists don't want to work anymore in fucking Europe.
You know how it is.
Those baggage tossers are like, I will not be tossing the baggage today.
And for some reason, we are French in Japan.
No, I'm saying Europe.
In Japan, there's none of that shit.
Okay.
In Japan, they're like, I'm so methodical with every single thing I do.
Like, I love the honor that I've brought to both my family and my, you know, my lineage by being a baggage tosser.
And I care about it so much.
I want to make sure that it's the best possible work I can do.
It doesn't matter.
Like, they value shit that they do no matter what it is.
Like, there is nothing that is like unimportant.
Like, every single piece of the puzzle is important.
And everyone plays a role and they know what their role is.
And they're very deliberate and very precise their movement.
So you get a lot less fuck-ups, regardless of the hyper-capitalist dystrophia that Japan is.
I mean, that's, again, yeah, they want to be like as welcoming as possible individually, even in the streets when you're like talking to random people.
They're like so courteous, so nice.
It's crazy.
I feel like coming from America, it feels like you landed in like an alien planet.
Dude, oh my God, you've never been to Japan.
You have.
You're going to fucking love it.
I've traveled the world.
And by that, I mean I've been to Western Europe for the most part.
I grew up in Turkey.
You know, I've been to all these different places.
I instantly, Tokyo, Japan, favorite country.
Tokyo, like by the widest margins.
Remember how I felt in Amsterdam?
Yeah.
Nothing.
It pales in comparison to like the moment that you enter, you know, Japanese soil.
You're like, wow, this shit's different.
Dude, I need to go to Japan.
Yeah, June.
I would love to go.
Go together.
During, it's my month, too.
Same-sex marriage is illegal, so we can make a lot of fun content out of that.
No, but there's hella twinks.
You're going to hold me out.
Oh, really?
Yeah, there's so it's like it's like Twink Central.
Oh, yes.
There's so many fuck twinks.
Dude, Japan invented the Twink.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
So it's Twink Central, so you love that.
There's also prefectures where it is legal, like, or at least not frowned upon, I guess.
And then prefectures where it's certainly.
Oh my God, we should get married.
Get gay married in Japan.
God, come on, Ethel.
That's what, that's what I thought.
We are white.
There's definitely a.
If there's one thing worse than homosexuals, if there's one thing worse than homosexuals in Japan, it's white people.
You're white.
I'm gay.
Difference.
Okay.
Yeah.
Dodge the white thing.
Yeah.
So that's true.
Okay.
So what am I going to do as a gay man in Japan?
What sort of content are we going to do?
I think that, you know, I mean, there's a ton of bars.
Are there gay bars too?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Oh, there was one.
There was one in, I think there was one in Kobe.
When I was in Kobe, there was like literally a gay bar.
I was like, gay bar, foreigners, welcome.
Perfect.
They put that out just aside.
Are like white people in Japan just like not well accepted or what's the deal?
They did laugh at Hassan a lot when he was asking for a larger size at every single day.
They laughed at me a lot.
Billy.
They called me Godzilla one time, which was sick.
Like, hey, that's awesome.
Yeah, that was so sick.
It was a pilot of interest.
Just like these 75-year-old men at one of the snack bars that we went to.
He saw me and he went, go shit up.
Yeah.
Dude, like as soon as I entered the bar, and I was like, oh, that is awesome.
Dude, that's like what we would joke about them saying to you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why I felt sick.
It felt so we would be like, make that would be, yeah, that'd be exactly what we would think.
Yeah.
There's, God, I don't want to, I don't want to take up too much space because we do have a wonderful guest.
Yeah.
We're just like, and I want to ask you, what was your favorite part of the Japanese trip?
I'm not going to lie, probably after the Crunchyroll Awards was over.
I just, how are you like this?
Bro, you gotta, how are you?
You gotta glue this.
You literally.
No, I gotta blow this down, motherfucker.
I gotta glue you down.
Don't defend him, Ray.
Don't defend him.
He is.
Oh, is he innocent?
Yes.
He blinks things all the time here.
You want to see he acts out in anger against gay people.
This is what he does.
And this is what he does.
If I was straight, this wouldn't be.
Austin was here one time.
Wouldn't be any cake.
This all is fat dumb.
Look, that is a.
What?
Did I break that?
Yes, you did.
Oh, fake out.
Well, it should have been manufactured.
You shouldn't get such a cheap banana duck when he's funky.
Well, listen here, fan, you son of a bitch.
Put it together.
Get it together.
If you set a banana duck, that better be well put together.
That's 3D printed.
Don.
I'm kidding.
I'm sorry to have a fan that's probably watching this.
I love you, fan.
That set the banana duck.
I feel full of that.
Okay, what was your favorite part of the trip?
I'm so sorry for interrupting.
Okay.
Do you mind if I smoke?
Yeah, you are crazy.
Honestly, I mentioned this earlier when Hassan was streaming, but streaming?
No, no, no, on the trip.
Okay.
But like, I felt like I couldn't really enjoy the trip because I was so anxious about presenting at the Crunchyroll anime awards.
And I was just excited for it to be over.
And then Saikuna and I filmed a candy tasting video without Hassan.
Hassan streamed every single day.
To my community, I am so sorry I said I was going to do one stream.
Because let me tell you, this man streamed from six in the morning to 11 a.m.
And then IRL streamed throughout the day every single day.
He's the definition of a workaholic.
I did.
I did eight-hour streams.
First four hours on the desktop, second four hours on IRL stream, like just uninterrupted.
Boom.
Yeah.
Back to back every single day.
He did podcasts.
He was also on Sea Dog's channel.
Yeah.
I did a, I did a, yeah, I did the Trash Days podcast.
I did my own episode of Fear Anne, which was a banger, by the way.
I hope you guys watched that last episode.
It was fire.
Someone didn't want to be on that episode, so I forced someone to be on this episode instead.
Wow, I wonder who he's talking about.
Right?
Well, it clearly wasn't me because I wasn't invited.
Yeah.
Well, you were, and you just did realize.
I would have loved to have come to Japan.
Okay, well, now you have to come in.
I'm going to let I'll let Ray know next time so she shows excitement.
Yeah, if you say that sounds like fun, I will text back and say, wow, that sounds like fun.
Would you like to do something?
Yeah, thank you.
Question mark emoji?
Back to Back Every Single Day00:15:34
Yeah.
Like, when I asked Hassan to get a camera, I'm under attack.
I don't know why I feel like I'm under attack in my podcast.
Let's not.
Okay.
Look, I think we'll figure it out for next time.
And I feel really good now about you guys wishing I was there.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I feel good about that.
You're such a bitch.
It's almost like I went.
You know what I mean?
It's almost like I...
You're like, now I don't even need to go.
I got everything out of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, a lot of times when you're like, if you're not invited somewhere, but like, no, you're invited.
You find out later that you were and they really were upset that you went.
It's like you went.
You know what I mean?
No, it's not.
Does anybody else feel like that?
It's not like that at all because we could have shared so many memories.
We could have gone to the onsen together, gotten naked.
Okay.
Explored each other's body.
Oh, really?
Yeah, that's like you have to go to the onsen naked.
Wait, did you do that naked?
No, I didn't do the onsen.
Dude, there's a lot of people.
There's actually a ton of stuff that we didn't do.
There's so much more we can do.
Dude, we did nothing.
Okay.
Like, I know that when Ray went with OTV, like, they did so much.
Every day for like two multi-gone to Japan, they've like done an insane amount of shit.
Like, planned out, like, scheduled.
If you still have to do that, yeah.
We didn't go to Super Nintendo World.
We didn't go see the Bowing Deers.
We didn't go to Disney.
The best.
It's one of the best parts of Japan.
But why the fuck would I go to Disney in Japan?
It's one of the best Disney is in Japan.
I'm good, man.
I mean, maybe.
Okay.
I just don't care about it as much because Japan is Disney for me.
And that's kind of what I want to talk about, which is that as far as a recap of the trip goes, I didn't do anything that was so over the top with the exception of going to a Japanese strip club because Richardson was throwing a party and it's like a fashion brand.
And that was like a really unique, fun story.
I've already talked about it a million times now on all my social media platforms.
I guess maybe not on the podcast, so I'll fill you in on that.
I went to a pig cafe live streaming and it was an incredible experience.
The pigs saw me as Mother Hen, Mother Hog for some reason.
They were like gravitating towards me.
Beautiful moment.
Me, really reconsidering my stance on eating bacon.
I get up.
There's this dude.
He's wearing like a real tree camo hat.
And he's like, yo, can I take a photo with you?
I'm like, yeah, sure.
Why not?
Turns out he's like, his name is Jack Donahue.
Lana Del Rey's like ex-boyfriend.
He's like a music producer guy.
Anyway, we take photos with him and he's like, yo, you want to come to my party tonight?
And I'm like, what?
He's like, Richardson, the brand.
It's a fashion brand.
He says, you know, Richardson's throwing a party.
And it's like a very hip thing to do.
If you're like an American fashion brand, you go to Japan and you throw like a crazy Japanese party and a, you know, like lots of photos, all that shit to launch something.
They were doing like a capsule collection, I think.
I'm like, sure.
He's like, this is Richardson.
Like, this is the guy.
He owes the brand.
I link up with them and I went to that party.
And it was a, you know, it was a Japanese strip club called Madam Wu's.
And Japan has like a variety of different types of sex work that's like illegal, but still completely allowed.
You know what I mean?
But they don't really have like a massive American style gentleman's club culture.
So it was like a unique experience on that front too.
And I had to get into the strip club by basically showing like the Twitch stream because they didn't put me on the guest list even though they invited me.
So I had to literally show the bouncer my Twitch stream of the fucking guy inviting me personally.
Oh shit.
And that's how we got in, which I think is the first and last time anyone will ever get into a nightclub or a strip club or a party.
Like you pulled up the clip.
By literally showing a Twitch stream.
That's awesome.
Yeah, that was fun.
So I did stuff like that.
But other than that, it was all just like super regular, just walking down the fucking streets.
Nothing touristy.
No bowing deers.
No fucking sumo wrestling.
No going to Kyoto.
Dude, we have so much opportunity.
That means we can go back.
Yes.
Well, my point is, you're right.
Yes, I would love to do all those things.
But like, even though I didn't do any of those things, I still fucking loved every second of it because I loved the differences in lifestyle in like the everyday experiences of Japanese people, things that they take, things that people take for granted, whether it be public transit, walkable cities, how clean it is.
Do you have sushi?
I did not.
I don't need sushi.
I don't need seafood.
It did have raw meat.
A lot of the shit.
So much raw meat.
So good.
Yeah.
Dude, dude.
I went to on the last night of the trip while Ray and Saikuno were at the Country Rule Awards presenting the best anime of the year.
Not a big deal, the most prestigious award.
Present.
It was also throwing daggers at me.
You're looking at me.
I'm trying to stay awake because I'm so jet lagged right now.
Okay.
I'm not.
Also, it's my resting time.
Corn pure energy drink.
It's not working.
Okay.
Anyways.
I don't have sleep.
I need to sleep.
Jet lag from Asia is like a whole different animal.
I don't know.
I feel like the time zone favors us when we come back.
When we go there, it's worse.
It tortured.
It torched me.
I was when I kicked it.
Castle.
Oh my God.
It was cool.
Regardless.
Knockout right now.
What I was saying is on my last night, I went to Kobe.
Yaku's a capital.
The Yamaguchi family's capital, the headquarters are in Kobe.
It's like not a place that anyone would ever go to for tourism, but the Kobe government asked Connor to film something there to promote the snack bars, a concept that is foreign to many, but it's just like older ladies that like run these bars and they talk to you and they serve you little snacks while they give you drinks.
You give a cover charge and then they just like keep serving you drinks.
And then it's just a lot of Japan is like very isolated.
Like Japanese people are very isolated from one another.
So there's a lot of social drinking, but they give you an opportunity to do social eating or social drinking if you want to as an individual person.
You can go to a snack bar and sit there by yourself and you won't feel like you're alone drinking.
That's nice.
So they're set up for people that like to do because I do that.
Just go to bars in the U.S. Just like alone.
That's weird, dog.
Can I tell you, have I ever told you this?
When I was in college, I would like, this is so sad, but like everybody would go out and I would go to an Applebee's in my college.
Hell yeah, bro.
And I would sit at the bar.
Like, how depressing is this?
At like 11 o'clock at night and like I would like eat chicken wonton tacos and like get an Oreo shake.
I don't think you're allowed to do it if you do that.
That's what I did.
No, like you're not allowed to.
I was having that I would have sex with men.
It doesn't it doesn't even balance this out the next you can't use the F word.
No it like look you go to Applebee's by yourself to eat jalapeno poppers brother.
I did it the next year actually is when I started experimenting and I didn't go back to Applebee's.
I haven't been back since.
Yeah, that is the least gay.
That is like you're a trucker who is off duty for the weekend.
Yeah.
And you know, it was drinking as soon as it was a crowd.
They knew me there.
They knew my order.
Like the bartender knew me.
Yeah, the bartender was like, this is the straightest man in Milwaukee.
So depressing to me that that's what I did when I was a freaking in my 20s.
Yeah.
Early 20s.
I'm still.
Well, you can do that in Japan and it's not as depressing.
Yeah, it's not as depressing.
It's like totally valid.
Yeah.
Exactly.
The reason why I built up the story was to just say that like I actually moaned while eating meat.
Oh.
Yeah, I saw that and you tweeted it provocatively.
Dude, the Kobe B we had Kobe.
I was thinking about the sexy meat.
We don't have to bring up the tweet.
No, no, bring up the tweet actually because I want to look at that meat again.
Yeah.
Dude, it was so gay.
The tweet that you posted is I couldn't even think of a response to it.
Like, I saw this tweet right here there and said it is.
Said, I've never moaned so hard eating meat like this.
Yeah, and that was the tweet caption.
And I just like, I was like, oh no, this is perfect opportunity.
But look at that.
But you just like said everything that I could say.
But look at that meat, though.
Wait, did you eat?
Did you cook it?
They did.
It's tapanyaki.
So it's like it's the food's incredible.
Everything.
Oh, the food is insane.
All right, we had some dog shit food choices.
Let's be real.
Like, we made some March.
Oh, I'm kidding.
Marge's choices were excellent.
Poor Frisio.
We did.
Catch extremes.
Completely.
I was today years old and I learned that it's March and not Marsh.
Yeah.
We made some kind of shitty food choices, but most of the places that you go to, like the Compini, the convenience stores, like culture is massive.
You go to a fucking convenience store.
It's so good.
It's just like they have these sandos, these egg sandwiches, these egg salad sandwiches.
They are the best.
It's the best.
I had probably like 25 to 30 egg sandwiches while it was very, I would eat like six a day.
Dude, I am so jealous I wasn't invited.
Well, don't worry.
We'll go back together.
But yeah.
So your favorite part was nothing because you were nervous.
That's what you're saying.
That's cool.
You get nervous toes.
What's your second favorite part?
I would probably have to say the food, but it was insane.
What's your favorite place that we went to?
That we went to?
Akyabara.
It was really fun.
Okibara.
Should you guys stay in a hotel?
They don't Airbnb.
Our Airbnb was awesome.
I think you missed a huge opportunity.
No, no, no, no.
I know.
He's a big hotel boy, and I agree with him.
Like, I used to not be, but I agree with him.
But the Airbnb that they booked was insane.
It was like a chateau in comparison.
Japanese standards-wise.
Like, it was one of those four-story houses that was in the wealthiest neighborhood, basically.
It was an insane Airbnb.
It was really.
Yeah, because in Japan, it looked like a fucking.
You didn't watch any of my streams.
It's obvious.
No, I watched some of it.
Did you not?
You're lying, I get to say.
No, I like a little bit.
Your tell.
I go into your stream and I chat.
You stay in your tower.
He leaves the stream muted and goes in the chat.
No, he doesn't care about the stream.
He only cares about getting reactions.
I love Discord.
Yeah.
So Poscord.
If you saw the area they were streaming from, the house had a random sound stage for no fucking reason.
It was crazy.
It was perfect.
It had a sound studio.
Yeah.
It had wide open spaces with actual trees inside of the house, like on the third floor.
Yeah.
It was beautiful.
And birds would come in in the morning and like fly around.
It was fucking insane.
Dude, that's amazing.
It felt like a Disney movie.
We forgot to do a house tour.
And it's clean.
So corny.
Not after we left it.
Okay.
We left it very dirty.
Like, I apologize.
It was clean.
I apologize profusely.
You know what I mean?
Okay, the Airbnb was nice, but next time we go, we got to stay in a hotel like the four seasons.
Yeah.
The problem with the hotels is that while they have excellent service, they're tiny.
Perfect.
I like, I think, no, then you get like a suite.
Fucking capsule hotel dog.
That's fuck that.
No, no.
I need like a, we get like a nice two-bedroom suite.
That'd be so fun.
So nice to have you and I, you and I could go to a love hotel.
Wait, what was the love hotel?
It's like, I think it's just like 20-minute rooms to book the fuck.
Did you did Japan make you gay or some shit?
I'm just, I'm gay for Japan, dude.
Like, I think like you came back more homoerotic.
I think that's what we need to send you to Japan.
I missed you.
This is like the opposite.
It's because the opposite.
This is the opposite of conversion therapy.
No, it's like we sit in Japan and you come back gay.
I think the Republicans are on to something.
Dude, Japan also, like, definitely not like pro-gay at all.
Oh, I know.
This was so devastating.
You do a lot of home shit, but they're not.
Yeah, they need broken.
Japan needs you're the worst representation of the Japanese.
Yes, dude.
I'm going to be way.
They're going to make it illegal to even think about it, dude.
Yeah, because they're here.
Yeah, they're going to be like, oh, am I going to make it make it so they don't like gay people even further?
Yeah.
I mean, you know, I met a guy recently that was straighter than I am.
Like, but he's gay.
It's crazy.
Straight up.
Then I am, but he's gay.
Why did you bring that up?
He said, positive.
I can't out him.
What the fuck?
Why would you bring that up?
Oh my god.
I didn't mention who he was.
Nobody knew.
What the fuck?
My man came in out in motherfuckers that I didn't mention their name.
Okay.
So, no, not at all.
But yeah, next time we're in Japan, we'll do a nice hotel, two-bedroom suite, 20-minute love hotel, you know, the whole day.
Do a hotel review.
Like there's capsule hotels.
Like, there's a lot of like, there's so much weird shit that I did not explore at all in Tokyo as well.
So I totally understand where you're coming from with like, you know, not really fully experiencing it.
It just really felt like a business trip.
But do you prefer the OTV style?
Like everything is booked out, you know, piece by piece.
Your day is like perfectly scheduled.
I'm like, I went to Japan.
It felt like a business trip because it's just like content, like doing content the whole time.
And so I feel like this next time when we go, like, I'll probably like do like work, but I want to actually have like a week.
Vacation.
Let's go on a cruise.
No, I would never go on a cruise.
I hate cruises.
What?
Yeah.
Awful.
I hate cruising.
Guys, okay.
Let's do this.
Next time we go to Japan, we'll take a week of content and then we'll take a week off.
And you guys do that.
I will.
A song.
We need.
I need no.
Match doesn't know how to do it.
Like, for example, I just did a stream today.
Worked very hard.
I'm going to go to the Bahamas and enjoy myself.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
I'm going to enjoy my.
I'm going to go on a Royal Caribbean cruise.
That is insane.
You did one day of work in like the past four months and now you're taking a vacation.
I think it's well deserved.
That's crazy.
I mean, it was a great stream.
It was a great show.
I'm going to kick back and think about the next Lubber House.
I'm in awe.
Like, we are so the opposite.
It's not even.
I like, I have to.
I love my job.
So it doesn't feel like work at all.
And especially in Japan, like one thing that everyone was saying was that they noticed how happy I was and I wasn't getting like Like, man.
I've never seen him that happy either.
I did not ban a single person, according to Mark.
You were in a, you went in an argument with XQC and like.
Xenophobic Policies in Japan00:06:39
I wasn't even participating.
They were arguing.
No, I know.
And you, you, like, even said at one point, you're like, yo, why are we arguing?
We should get along.
I was like, whoa.
I mean, but it was so dumb because like I removed myself from the situation for a moment.
Partially because it was a lot easier for me to do so because I was in Japan having the time of my life.
And I thought to myself, like, why the fuck are we talking about this like incredibly weird issue that like no one actually gives a shit about in all sincerity?
Because a bunch of sweaty losers online decided like this is the most important thing to be outraged about?
And like, streamers do lean into that.
I myself am definitely gonna be more cognizant of that in the future and try not to lean into it so much and and try to look at it from an outsider's perspective because, I don't know, it just felt really strange, like I.
It felt like theater but, like the people that are watching, they get really invested in it because their favorite streamer has an opinion on it and then they fight their battles for him.
What I realized about that particular battle is, nobody really knew.
It was like anecdotal, like both sides had a perspective and nobody could reveal where their perspective came from.
So, as a viewer, I disagree.
I do have a perspective that I have.
I well eloquently put multiple times over about, like whiteness as a, as a concept and what.
Okay, I wasn't listening most of the time.
Yeah, I was.
I actually didn't even remember what was going on.
I forgot what we're talking about.
Yeah, for those of you.
For those of you who don't know, we can talk about like.
I'll just briefly summarize what we're mentioning, um, Bruce Drophamoff got re-banned after saying, like fuck them crackers uh, on his twitch stream uh, and then it, it kick-started the conversation, the narrative uh, about like anti-white racism all over again and, like a lot of people got like very, very upset.
Some were so offended that they like combed through my vods where I was making jokes about how like, i'm experiencing racism in Japan and how funny it is that, like you know, anti-white racism, like anti-white racism, is race, anti-white racism is so not real, especially in America where, like you know, whiteness is the, is the power, uh core that, like white people have to travel to a different country to experience it like a tourist destination.
You know what I mean?
Were you experiencing it?
Not really no I I, they just like kind of laughed at how big I was and that's pretty much it, like it wasn't anything serious.
You're just big, it's not like a yeah, but I think like, when you are in Japan, they do hate foreigners, like I mean, they hate like Vietnamese people, like sometimes the taxis would like deliberately drive by because they're foreigners.
Yeah really, that happens.
Some bars will openly say like don't come in if you can't speak Japanese.
That chicken place where we ate the chicken and they said they were sold out.
Oh yeah, but that would get us sold out.
Yeah, because you're white.
Yeah, it's a very, it's very.
I mean.
Yeah wait, being white, is that an upset thing to be like.
You'd be like what the fuck?
This is racism, Racism.
I mean, it kind of is.
It's like they're very xenophobic more than they're like racist.
I think they're like fascinated with white people for the most part, but they are incredibly xenophobic.
Is anything?
What?
I'm going to say something fucked up.
No, no, no.
Say it.
No, well, we've always cut it out.
I'm curious.
This is a genuine question.
Is any of the hatred towards white people, is it rooted in, is there any World War II roots there?
Are you asking if Japan has been like destroyed by white Westerners?
Because the answer is yes, twofold, both by the British and also by America.
There goes my foot right in my mouth.
We literally wrote their constitution after deploying not one, but two atom bombs.
Yeah.
You forgot about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I remember them very well.
I wasn't.
I do remember that.
But I'm just curious if that was, you know, you never know.
You want to know, but they're not even upset about that.
That's what I mean.
Like, that would be justifiable resentment towards Americans.
But like, there's this weird thing about American culture.
It's so powerful that like Japanese people just like myself are incredible Ameribans.
They're incredible Ameribans.
You know, I love American culture.
I'm fascinated with it.
That's why I come across, I present as an American, even though I fucking grew up in Turkey my whole life.
Japanese people are exactly like that.
They love American shit.
They love American clothes.
They love rap culture.
They love a lot of black culture that they certainly, you know, because a lot of American culture is black culture.
Let's be real.
They love all that shit.
One thing that I will say is if you want to understand the severity of control that we have over Japan, when COVID first happened in Japan, they shut it down.
They had really xenophobic policies.
Like for example, if you were a permanent green card holder, like if you were a legal permanent resident as like an American with like Japanese children, you have a Japanese wife, Japanese children, you live there your whole life.
If you left the country, they would not let you back in.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you had like a family emergency or something and you had to leave the country, they would not let you in.
So that part is like really xenophobic.
But the part of the interesting part that like the interesting part that is like, you know, that demonstrates how fucked up America is and how much control it has over Japan.
Japan was not able to shut down adequately.
They were able to shut down immigration-wise, right?
They were able to shut down travel, international travel completely.
They love doing that.
Isolated island nation.
But they were not able to shut down internally.
I don't know why.
Because we wrote their constitution after World War II.
Oh.
Of course.
We've done that many times over in many different countries.
Japan is not the exception here.
It's the rule.
And in that constitution, we made sure that the government could not overstep private businesses' interests.
So the government is not able to tell, to dictate what private businesses can and can't do, which is the most American thing that you can write in a fucking constitution.
So they were unable to technically fully shut down.
Did we write the right to bear arms in there?
Luckily, we did not put that in there.
Interesting.
Partially because it would make it most likely a little bit harder to take over.
Oh, so they were like, yeah, no God.
So no right to bear arms.
Yeah, but private businesses can do whatever the fuck.
What about speech?
Do we have free?
What about free speech?
It's diet.
Do we write free speech into their constitution?
No.
Posting Like a Straight Guy00:03:56
Apologies on the podcast.
Oh.
Oh, so yeah, we are doing a little bit of politics on the podcast.
It's fascinating.
It's fascinating to think about.
You're right, though.
Okay, let's shift to focus.
He's asked me two questions.
What's my favorite thing about Japan?
And what's my second favorite thing about Japan?
Okay, we're going to, I'm being a bad interviewer.
I'm being a bad interviewer.
I should say, as the gay co-host, I should also be paying it.
I'm so sorry.
We've got a woman here, and you're like not even conversation over that.
But I don't.
He's gay because he's misogynistic.
I don't know how to talk to you.
He's literally gay because he's misogynist.
It's rooted in misogyny for sure.
Yeah.
I think you're really good at talking to women.
He's better than most men.
Really?
He code switches.
Do you think I'd be loved that?
He code switches.
Do you think I'd be a good like?
Do you think I could pull as like a straight guy?
Yeah, 100%.
Really?
Yeah.
I think you would poll a lot of people.
Okay, they call it Riz.
Oh, is that what they call it?
Yeah, it's like a new thing.
It's called charisma.
Hassan, what's the history on Riz?
Wait.
What if I?
What?
Well, I'm not going to describe what Riz just means a game.
Yeah, he's just like it.
But the thing is, is like when I'm, but my game changes when I talk to attractive people completely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're straight baiting and it's completely inappropriate.
You think what?
Like attractive old women?
Straight baiting is like saying cracker.
It like doesn't fuck you.
Who gives a fuck?
Yeah, exactly.
No, you know what I mean?
Like it's the same.
Yeah, I'm not gay.
I don't mean it seriously.
But it is, I am a serial straight bit.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
It's definitely a problem.
I mean, we did a photo shoot together.
No, that came out very gay.
Oh, oh, it did.
Really?
Really?
I think you looked gay as fuck on that.
No, I have guys.
Why in like a good way?
I've had guys that have messaged me on Instagram.
I don't mean as a pejorative.
I think it's actually a problem because my Instagram is actually a problem because I take photos with beautiful women like yourself on which I'm going to continue.
Yeah, you should have it if you're interested, unless that was too traumatic.
In Japan or Japan.
Perfect.
A sexy photo shoot.
A sexy photo shoot.
In Japan.
But I think it's a problem because I think guys don't know I'm gay.
No, people know you're gay.
No, you'd be surprised.
I'm going to talk about sucking dick.
I know, but still for some quakes all the time.
But like if you didn't say anything, you just looked at it.
You just looked at my Instagram picture photos, you would think that I'm straight.
You do take a lot of like straight guy at the gym style mirror selfies.
Oh, I've got some gay ones to show you.
Okay, well, that's what I meet.
Like, by the way, whenever he's, whenever he's about to post one, he says it to me, he's like, what's up?
Should I post this?
I'm like, yes, dude, I've got one that's like, I'm a clear with you guys.
You guys, like, I always am like, dude, fucking post it, dude.
Come on.
Yeah.
And he, like, writes my caption.
He's like, he, like, yo, say something gay in it.
And then it'll.
Because you're like, hey, what's up?
Like, you want to, you post like, you post like a straight guy.
Yeah, I know.
I post way gayer shit than you.
No, I know.
I know.
But I got some really gay shit.
Like, that's why everyone always, like, oh my God, he's so baby girl.
And I'm like a hairy 31-year-old man.
You know what I mean?
Like, I, and like, I got like, I got like little queer zoomers being like, he's so baby girl.
It's because like I am a little baby girl.
You are actually baby.
Yeah.
I'm a little boyfriend.
I really like his hair too.
Like it is fire and it's pissing me off.
Gash me up a little bit.
Miss the long hair a little bit.
I'm not gonna lie.
Really?
Yeah.
You just can't wed and can you?
Look, can I see him?
I like this hair.
I'll be honest.
I saw his hair and I was like, I'm angry.
Because I'm like, yo, like it's really good.
And like, I'm almost like jealous of how good it looks.
Hiding Behind Average Height00:02:34
Why?
No, but like it looks really good.
But like, like, I don't know.
You've got like this natural curl.
But like, you, you, like, you're your hair is like popping off.
And I've been like really insecure about my hair lately.
That's why.
Oh, I've been annoying.
Yeah.
Cause like it's just maybe change up.
Like, do you want to dye your hair?
No, no, nothing wrong with no, no, no.
More jacked and then fucking buzz it on a girl.
So here's my deal.
I would lose like half my power, like half my power.
No, not with power.
No, like I would lose like half my, the population of men that are attracted to me.
For sure, 50%.
I think you're delusional.
I think you could switch it up.
My hairline's not strong enough for that.
That's why I said buzz it.
When you buzz it, it hides it.
No, buzzing would show the that, but it still it hides it better.
It's just that the in-between phase would be devastating.
Yeah, I would be devastated.
I'm afraid to take monoxidal for that reason.
I don't want to shed.
No, just take monoxidal.
You'll shed.
Isn't there like a thing for men like herpesha?
Yeah.
Have you thought about that?
And your dick has a 1% chance of not working.
1%.
Oh, that's crazy.
That's like getting a legendary in World War Crap.
The 1%.
Yeah, right.
That's insane.
But it's like the opposite.
Right.
You have a legendary debuff.
If you...
But what you stopped taking it, would it work again?
Some say that they say studies are inconclusive, but like they say that you have a permanent damage on.
Okay, yeah.
So 1% chance.
But think about it this way.
Let's say you took a pill and like there was like a 1% chance that you would grow like a third boob.
Hell yeah.
Like out of your chip.
Give me those pills.
Okay.
So you okay, what's something that would be devastating for you?
As a female.
My boobs go inverted.
Or like they just, you know, like smaller?
No.
Or you get shorter.
Yeah, no, no.
No.
This is what would happen.
First of all, there's nothing wrong with being short.
Not that I am short.
1% chance that you're probably taller than the average height in Japan.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I am.
The average height is 5'2 in Japan.
She's 5'2 and 3-quarters.
I'm not.
What?
No, I'm almost 5'4.
Almost.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
You're a perfect height.
The average, yeah.
The average height in Japan is 5'2, and it grew.
Wait, go ahead, Austin.
Over the course of you, you need to be speaking.
No, no, no.
But I'm gonna ask you this question.
The pill.
Yeah, okay.
And they're like, oh my God, your tits are gonna drop by three feet.
Like, they're gonna like be sagging at your knees.
Would you 1% chance?
I guess it depends on what the pill is doing for me.
Live Tweeting the Pill Question00:11:53
Like, is it worth it?
Let's just say that.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, I would just look at her hair.
They know she's got the best fucking hair on the planet.
But imagine if you started losing it.
I guess I would just get like some...
I don't know.
I feel like hair is like so people look at that right away.
Like with boobs, you could just get like a heavy-duty bra.
Oh, you could have it.
Put shove on in there, tie them up, and wrap them around.
Yeah.
Put them in a knot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it'd be fine.
What's it like to have boobs?
I can tell you.
Oh, yeah.
Boobs.
You ever thought of like what it would be like to be like the, like have a break?
Yeah, there have been times where like I look at myself in the mirror naked and it's like, damn, I get to see myself naked.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Because, you know, like thinking, like, as a guy, you know, you probably would want to, you know, women naked because you don't really get to see that, right?
So it's like, I'm thinking from like a, you know, if I were a guy and like, what if I swapped lives with someone and, you know, I was a guy and I was looking in the mirror.
Right, that is the most hot girl shit you ever said to me.
Because you're just like, you sat in front of the mirror and you look at the mirror and you're like, man, there's so many people that would want to see this.
No.
Yeah, I've never felt that.
Like, literally.
That is supposed to be so many people.
That is such hot girls.
Would love to see you naked.
Absolutely.
I don't feel that at all.
Like every.
You've seen Haas Twitter.
Oh, Haas Twitter.
Anti-Pikers cooking up a tweet right now.
Watching this podcast.
Yeah.
He's going to make another fan cam.
I love them.
Oh, did you see me respond to it?
Oh, you did?
I did the response.
I liked it.
You saw my fan camp?
Everyone on Oswitter was watching.
I'm not going to lie.
Everyone at Hostler was watching Lover Hose, and I got a little jealous.
Did you really?
Yeah, they were like live tweeting about it, and I was like, This is my thing.
I actually talk about it.
It's like, look at Austin.
Jose loyal.
That's what he said.
You know what I mean?
But Haas Twitter, hey, look, they love me too.
Hey, Haas Twit is not owned exclusively.
They need a, they need a gay man.
No, they don't.
Yeah, they do.
They need a gay man.
But hey, can all day Nina.
And I tell you what, something that's going to make you even more mad.
I checked Hascord to see if they were watching and they were also watching Lover House.
Yeah, I mean, that's fine.
Oh, but Haas Twitter you were sensitive about.
Dude, Haas Twitter is all up in.
Look at Anthony Piker.
It's like half the tweets he tweets about me too.
Get a little jealous.
I mean, his profile picture is you.
Would you be jealous if the anti-piker switching?
I'm going to put the knife down.
I'm getting sent.
Uh-oh, we need to send it back to Japan before we need to anyway.
Where he commits a hate.
He gets so jealous.
I get very possessive over my fandom.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Wait, you think, I think, I feel like I crossed the line.
You crossed it a little bit.
Now that I said this, they're going to do it deliberately.
And then I'm going to get actually.
I'm going to get more profile pictures with my face in it.
I love that.
I'm the only person that goes in and like lobbies for more profile pictures with my face.
Yeah, it's supposed to happen organically.
I know, and I do it.
I like promote my fandom to try to build it.
Yeah.
But, you know, it's happening.
It is, it's, it's happening.
Austin Twitter.
Moran is.
I know.
I know.
It's incredible.
Yeah.
I love that.
He just thought I will.
I will stream a little bit more.
You know, it's, it's one of those.
I got to figure out what my thing is.
You know what I mean?
And, you know, I don't know.
I was thinking about getting into politics.
Yo, can I be honest?
Sometimes I wouldn't recommend that on my worst enemy, honestly.
I mean, do it.
No, no, no, do it.
Try it out.
I would be amazed.
I'd be such a lib.
Try it out for size, dude.
See how you like it, motherfucker.
You and I only disagree on like China.
I think.
That's you.
Say like, say, like three things that people misconstrue and then have that be like a permanent stain on your reputation for the rest of your life.
Where you'll have like psychotic stalkers that like literally travel to every other place on the internet to bring that to you.
Like I went on the trash taste podcast, right?
And it's an anime fandom.
It's just about anime.
And like, I know a bit about anime, right?
I'm not a weeb.
I mean, fuck that.
Obviously not.
I was shocked by how much he knew about anime.
He is way more of a weeb than I thought.
I'm shocked and feel like you feel like he's a weeb curtain.
He's watched way more anime than I ever have.
It's insane.
I don't know.
You definitely are pretty weeb.
I don't know what any of these.
I don't.
I only watched.
I'm weeb adjacent.
I only watch black and white Western cinema.
That's silly to lie and say I watch anime.
I think he's a weeb, Ray.
Oh, yeah, Hunter Kasan.
He's in denial.
But yeah, what I was going to say is like, you go on a podcast like that, and then like the entire comment section is like, Hassan Piker in, you know, March 13th, 2010, said this.
Ah, so he's a bad guy.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
We're just talking about anime, dog.
Calm down.
Is that your frat days?
No, not even.
I just like using that as an example to be like, people will just make shit up here.
Yeah.
To be just because they justify their anger and resentment towards you, which is like silly.
And I don't want to think about it.
It's like, I noticed myself as soon as I fucking landed in Los Angeles.
I was like looking.
And I don't know if the QRTs were particularly worse when I landed or my mentality shifted immediately as soon as I got into U.S. airspace like the Chinese balloon.
I fucking started feeling like I'll see more negative comments.
Yeah, I think, yeah.
I definitely think that they should have shot that down, by the way, but that's a type of conversation.
But they did.
Yeah, and the great move by Biden.
Great move.
Anything in a volume?
China should not infiltrate our airspace.
Sorry, Ray.
Oh, wait.
Do you want to try?
I would love to try some Japanese cuisine.
That's interesting you say that because we have some here.
Wow.
I brought back whatever amount of snacks that were not consumed on the Ray and Saikuno Tri-Snack Challenge.
Snacks that I went with March to a Lawson's to purchase with the hopes that, well, first it was going to be on my stream.
Then Ray was like, you know what?
I want to do a stream.
And I was like, of course, perfect.
Let's do it on your stream.
You've been on all of my streams this week.
You've been great.
You've been gracious with your time.
You've been very kind.
I would love to do that on your stream.
And then she was like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're just not even going to do it.
I like took a day off from streaming specifically so that I would do it on her, like do a video with her.
And then she was like, yeah, I decided I'm just going to do it without you.
The only time Hassan had time to film this two-hour video was the morning of the Crunch Roll Anime Awards, which I realized didn't make sense because I had to go there to get my hair and makeup done.
I know.
It wasn't a bad thing.
It's just I realized it didn't make sense to film it before because I wouldn't have been ready.
He's holding this over my head.
Which I don't think is fair because I was on his stream and, you know, a lot.
The entire week.
The entire week.
We have Japanese curry.
This is why I needed to be there because I wouldn't have streamed at all.
Yeah, I know.
That's why you're perfect.
I wouldn't stream at all.
And I would have just been purely currently either, though.
Well, okay, to be fair, I felt like him streaming was priority because he also has a lot of hours.
Yep.
A ton of hours.
Also, he's heavily addicted to working.
Do you want to smell lettuce?
Give it a whiff.
What is this?
Japanese curry peanuts.
Oh, curry.
The strongest peanuts.
But it's...
Oh, wow.
Is it spicy curry?
I don't know.
We're about to find.
Okay, you try them first.
And then I've got the most American palate right now because you guys just got off the plane.
So I'm going to be like, yeah, take it.
No, it does.
Because you guys are used to it.
Oh, wait, give me one.
Oh, you want to try it at the same time when it's spicy?
Well, it doesn't look spicy.
All right, cheers.
Cheers.
Come by.
Cheers.
All right.
There we go.
It's carakus.
Oh, wow.
Oh.
Wait, tell yourself.
Tell me that's too spicy.
No.
Spicy.
Let me tell you something.
This is so well done because let me describe this to the viewer.
Okay.
Immediately, curry taste, right?
But then as you chew it in an explosion of savory flavor, when you get a very intense curry taste, then you start to taste the nut.
And then the savory combination of a hardened champ.
Yeah, it has a shell.
Of curry.
And then inside of it, it's great mouthfeel.
Inside of it is the buttery cashew.
Oh.
Wow.
But it's not.
What?
This isn't even a show one.
This isn't even a show one.
This is like, I literally picked this up at the airport.
Oh.
They gave it to Die Flight.
This is a diet.
You don't like her.
Look at her face.
This is kind of mid.
I'm going to eat the whole fucking thing.
What's chopped up with this?
I don't know.
There's no way I'm reading that.
Yeah.
91 calories.
That is definitely.
That is definitely a byproduct.
This is one of the more negative consequences, I guess, of living in Japan would be that everything is just like unapologetically in kanji or was it kotakana?
Is that how you say it?
Which is, you know, Japanese letters, Chinese letters, sorry.
Feethole bags.
So cute.
Often loves it.
No, I always don't like that alphabet.
They don't.
But the food is excellent, man.
I'm so excited.
The closest I've been to Japan is like Benihana.
No.
No, that's actually what I was going to say because I went to a real Tapayaki.
Like, I saw, I was like, so what's up?
Is this guy going to do like fucking volcano?
Because those things are crazy.
Like, is he going to flip the shrimp?
And Connor laughed at me and he was like, no, dude.
Didn't even do that in Japan.
It was a hypnotic experience.
Yeah, Steve Aoki's dad brought Hibachi that concept to America and establishes a chain.
Obviously, that takes a lot of work, too.
But the Tapanyaki, the way that you're supposed to do it is so precise.
I will say this.
Every move that people make, whether it be in their workplace or whether it be cleaning up their own personal space in Japan, is done with intention.
Every micro movement is done with intention.
Everything is deliberate.
Everything is precise.
Everything is so clean.
It's incredible.
It's incredible to watch.
So when I was watching the 70-year-old, like, slice the garlic cloves thinly and then lay it gently on the tapanyaki, like on the on the grill, which was so perfectly clean, by the way.
It was insane.
I've never seen that.
And then watch him fry it piece by piece, these like delicate, thinly sliced garlic cloves.
And then he would just make small, precise micro movements to just flip them one by one.
Sitting there watching that was a hypnotic experience.
I am starting to really, I may get on a plane.
Introducing MILF Manor00:07:08
I may not go on.
You're going to love Japan so much.
Incredible.
Yeah, I'm so excited, Ray, for our trip to Japan.
For our trip to Japan.
I can't wait to see it in you and I.
Yeah.
Come on, Ron.
Japan.
Are you going to Shimmer Woods?
Of course.
I was.
Oh, can I say something?
Yes.
I was.
You will see the clips tomorrow when you stream.
And I hope if Hoscourt is listening right now, make sure you get together and get these clips.
I was reacting in real time at the end of Lover Host, by the way, when like the most critical point of the show, when I should have been focusing on the show, I was going through the stages of grief, finding out that I was not at a table with Hassan or Will.
Oh, no.
I was devastating.
And you could see me reacting in real time.
I didn't get a chance to pick my seat.
And like, now I think I'm sitting next to Will and Caroline.
But like, I'm not next to Hassan, which is great.
And I'm so happy by that.
But now I'm not, I'm not sitting next to him.
I wanted to be on where I was sitting.
I didn't even ask.
Wait, how did you get on the chart?
I'm hosting the red carpet.
Oh.
Are you going to interview me?
I'm also up for streamer of the year, Austin.
I did vote for you.
Yeah.
But who else is?
They also voted.
XQC, Kai Sanat.
Germa.
Those are all wonderful people.
Yeah.
But you voted for me, and that's what matters.
I did vote for you.
And I don't want, if you guys are watching, none of them are going to watch this.
What?
Look, no, this is a very popular podcast.
This is probably the favorite podcast ever.
It's a yeah.
No, Hysonat, literally, when he's cooking up a new Desmo, he's watching the podcast.
Hello, Kai.
He's heavily inspired by this podcast.
Really?
Yeah, I gave him all the...
That's phenomenal.
All the cool ideas that he had for his 30-day sub-a-thon.
That's what I heard.
I did vote for Kai originally.
Really?
On stream?
On stream.
I voted for Hassan.
What was the other category you're nominated for?
I didn't even remember my category.
Okay.
Just chatting.
So in my head, I was like, I'm only going to vote for everyone once in each category.
I did the same thing with who else had two categories.
Ludwig did.
Yep, yep, yep.
Timmy did.
Okay, okay.
And then I realized later, I was like, well, what if they lose that category?
And it's because I didn't vote for them.
Because I only voted for them in the other category that they lost.
They would have won the other one.
So my vote matters.
So I went back and changed my votes.
You voted for Hassan.
Yeah, I voted for Hassan twice.
I voted for Ludwig twice.
You're hosting.
I opted out of it because I'm co-hosting.
I thought it'd be weird.
I feel like it would add an extra layer of, you know, anxiousness.
Like, oh, am I going to receive a, I don't think I'd win, but like, just knowing that the possibility that I could.
So I was like, I don't want to be nominated.
You're going to do so well.
Yeah.
You know, I think knowing that Cutie will be up there makes me feel a lot more comfortable because I know she's a bit dyslexic.
So, you know, just I feel like I am a little bit too sometimes.
Say that just embrace the imperfections of whatever will happen.
And nobody's a perfect host.
He would have been so good.
You're so good at talking.
Stop.
You guys are fabulous together.
Oh, God.
I'm so excited and so happy.
I'm excited too.
Both of you.
It'll be fun.
And it's going to be an amazing, fun event.
And it's happening soon.
And it's happening.
In fact, XQC will be there with his new date, Extra Emily, who won Lover House today.
Spoiler alert.
Oh, fuck.
Mute it.
What the fuck?
A lot of love.
There's a lot of Ador Harris fans.
I saw it going to react to it.
Oh, there's a new show you should react to.
It's called Dilf Manor.
That's not real.
No, it's serious.
It's an actual reality TV show.
I watched it on Hot Squared streams, but it's like almost too gay.
Like, I don't think you can handle it.
Like, it's very challenge.
Yeah, you should watch an episode on stream.
Speaking of which, we will be reacting to MILF Manor, as a matter of fact, on the paywall portion of this broadcast.
Let's go, baby.
As a matter of fact, we're in an hour right now.
So we are going to move over to the paywalled section of the podcast.
This is wonderful.
We are going to be watching.
I'm going to introduce MILF Manor to both of you guys.
I cannot.
You guys are both wonderful, lovely individuals.
Yeah, my mom.
My mom watches MILF Manor.
No, Austin, what?
What?
Hey, why did you bring that up?
Wait, that my mom watches Milf Manor?
Oh.
Trauma.
I was on his stream.
He was come on my stream.
Oh, so on that.
I talked about this in the Paywalled episode.
No, we'll say it right here because this is a good way to juice it up.
I'm making more money.
He was looking out for you.
No, people love the MILF Manor reacts.
Anyway, behind the Paywall, you will get access to more juicy commentary.
In fact, behind the Paywall, we're bringing in some MILFs.
Yeah.
This is a Manor and their sons.
This is a manor.
But they're, yeah.
Anyway, I was in anticipation of Ray coming on my stream.
Apparently, Ray's mom was watching.
I had no idea.
I was reacting to MILF Manor talking about suckling on mommy teeth and things like that.
It wasn't even me personally.
A screenshot because I told her I was going to be live on his channel.
And she was like, Yes, I know I'm already watching.
It's a screenshot of Hassan watching MILF Manor.
Oh.
And I was like, oh my God, I hope she doesn't actually realize what he's saying for one and what she is watching.
Oh, no.
But he was serious about all of it.
That's the problem.
Yeah, yeah.
I hope she's not watching this.
I hope she won't watch the paywall portion because we're going to watch a full episode of MILF Manor behind the paywall.
That's right.
And if you want to watch it, not Ray's mom, but if you guys want to watch it, all you need to do is subscribe at patreon.com/slash fear and that's right.
Patreon.com/slash fear and this has been a wonderful episode.
One of my favorites.
Where can people find you?
Valkyrie Everywhere.
Valkyrie everywhere.
Austin on Twitter or Mr. Austin's show or on the Hasarabi broadcast.
It's true.
And unfortunately.
And I plan to be coming down for more episodes of Fear Ann.
Hell yeah.
And unfortunately, we could not have Beauty Cinderella here because of what happened to Swift, her pupper.
